Chapter 78

Laura’s P.O.V.

What?

A substitute player?

Christ on a bike, what the hell was going on here?

I had expected a cunning scheme or at least some sort of retaliation, but this one. eighty–degree turn in Leo’s personality took me by surprise. He became a saint in such a

short time.

The identical indifference on his face was gone, replaced by the gentleness of harmony. He

looked like Buddha while saying.

“You know that my ice hockey is everything for me, and the clear balance between my personal and professional life will take it to new heights this season.

However, I wish to repent, repaying you by sacrificing my stardom and fame.

You can treat me like an overlooked player for no matter how long you want.”

He ripped the papers of our former contract into two, bowing his head.

“Please give me a chance, Laura. I owe you big. Only you can be my salvation.”

I had dealt with cold Leo, loving Leo, egoistic, rude, and cheater Leo. But this modest Leo was over the cap, I couldn’t give him a befitting answer at once.

“I appreciate your willingness, Mr. Leo!”

Keeping my tone firm, I tried to sound nonchalant and got up.

“You took the initiative to voice your thoughts. Good!

I will think about it and get back to you later.”
